Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Predators and Varmints Why Did I Buy This?? (pics)

I'm still not sure how I left the store with this thing. It's a Magnum Research 17/22. Or something like that.





Shoots well enough. 50yds with a stiff right to left wind. It's a 1" dot:


The black diamond is 1/2". 5 shots. Still windy:


Been wanting to try the Mach 2. She may prove to be a suitable gopher/jack-bunny rig. This thing is very light. Shot about 20 rounds offhand after the grouping/sighting in BS. Pretty hard to miss with this thing. It's very comfortable to shoot.

That scope is just an old (but very relieable) Simmons 3-9X. If I hang on to this one I see a straight 12X or 10X in it's future. Any suggestions on glass are welcome of course. I'm not much of a rimfire guru.
